That's BS There are soo many double standards when it comes to dating Firstly:for some reason, our society seems to dictate that no matter what happens, the man can never walk away smelling like roses. If she ends the relationship, it's because he's a jerk, and if he ends it, it's because he's a jerk. Talk about being wedged between a rock and a hard place...
Secondly: If she cheats, the perception is that the guy has not been pulling his weight (i.e. he's no good in bed, he's insensitive, etc.). Somewhere along the way, he slipped up, leaving her no other choice but to look somewhere else for satisfaction. As unfair as this seems, it is true.
If the guy cheats, it is attributed to an unquenchable need to please his libido. It's as if being faithful is a feat in and of itself. Again, the blame is inexplicably diverted away from the woman, leaving the man open for much criticism.
In most situations, however, men who flirt with a few women at a nightclub or even in the office are seen as having intentions that go beyond being friendly. Eventually, many people would say, the man wants to get into that lady's pants. The generalization is made that the man who flirts undoubtedly has a hidden agenda.
Women who react to a man's advances or who start conversations and innocently tease men are not viewed in the same light. In fact, most of the time, a woman would defend herself by saying that she was "simply being nice" to the guy next to her at the bar. Often, it is men who are viewed as having ulterior motives.
Yeah, yeah, women are victims too... Men can get into so much trouble, even if what they do comes via good intentions. After your woman comes home from a long day at work, is it not proper to ask how her day went? I thought so too, but after those questions were met with snarky replies that I was simply digging for dirt, I was more confused about the opposite sex than ever. A simple attempt to get a peek into a loved one's day can be met with attitude, because the impression is that men are always interrogating, making sure their women stay "on track."
The situation is not as rosy if you don't ask for details either. Instead of coming off as jealous, you'll seem indifferent about your woman. Any way you look at it, there is no easy way out, gentlemen.
But women, oh, when women ask about where you went, how many beers you had, or why you didn't call, they're just being inquisitive because they "care." Uh-huh.
There's more but I won't go into them...* cough*
Considering this, maybe he IS the victim. And also considering this, your man sounds like a woman to me lol
